ICC ODI World Cup: After Afghanistan ended their campaign in the IFF Men's ODI World Cup 2023 with a five-wicket defeat to South Africa, chief coach Jonathan Trott said they will leave the event with mixed feelings, happiness over four wins and regret over a few missed opportunities. He, however, said their performance showed that the players have a bright future ahead.

Afghanistan stunned defending champions England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka and also got the better of the Netherlands for their four wins in the ICC ODI World Cup.

One of the missed opportunities for them was the6 wickets defeat to Bangladesh in their opening match and Trott said that "there were a few other games" that they could have perhaps won. That would include the match against five-time World Champions Australia in which Afghanistan had reduced Pat Cummin's side to 91/7 before Glenn Maxwell hammered an unbeaten double-century to help Australia win the match.
